“…Supervisors' presence around children can help to enforce safe behavior and allow for timely intervention in case of aggressiveness and intentionally inflicted injuries among students. Contrary to existing literature, our study reported a low rate of sports-related injuries compared to unstructured play activities [41][42][43]. This may be explained by a relatively limited organized sports activity at schools in Lebanon, related to their associated setting and facility costs.…”

Child school injury in Lebanon: A study to assess injury incidence, severity and risk factors

et al. 2020

Background School-based injuries represent a sizeable portion of child injuries. This study investigated the rates of school-based injuries in Lebanon, examining injury mechanisms, outcomes and associated risk factors. Methods Data were prospectively collected by intern school nurses at 11 private schools for the 2018-2019 academic year. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed. Chisquare comparisons were conducted to determine the significance of any differences in injury rates between boys and girls for each category of school.

“…Examination of the SDQ scores (Table 1) shows higher scores for boys, and prevalence of pain is elevated in children with ADHD, which is predominant in boys [37]. In addition, behaviour may also explain the sex difference reported in this study: although both girls and boys report similar individual sport participation (73%), boys participated in team sport more often than girls (girls = 54%, boys = 74%) and boys are more likely to sustain musculoskeletal injury from sport participation both as individuals and within team sports [38,39]. Sleep problems may also have a role in promoting the persistence or worsening of musculoskeletal pain [32].…”

Sleep problems increase the risk of musculoskeletal pain in boys but not girls: a prospective cohort study

et al. 2020

Adults with sleep problems are at higher risk for onset of musculoskeletal pain, but the evidence is less clear for children. This prospective cohort study investigated whether children with sleep problems are at higher risk for onset of musculoskeletal pain and explored whether sex is a modifier of this association. In a prospective cohort study of Australian schoolchildren (n = 1239, mean age 9 years), the associations between sleep problems at baseline and new onset of both musculoskeletal pain and persistent musculoskeletal pain (pain lasting > 3 months) 1 year later were investigated using logistic regression. The potential modifying effect of sex was also assessed. One-year incidence proportion for musculoskeletal pain onset is 43% and 7% for persistent musculoskeletal pain. Sleep problems were associated with musculoskeletal pain onset and persistent musculoskeletal pain onset in boys, odds ratio 2.80 (95% CI 1.39, 5.62) and OR 3.70 (1.30, 10.54), respectively, but not girls OR 0.58 (0.28, 1.19) and OR 1.43 (0.41, 4.95), respectively. Conclusions: Rates of musculoskeletal pain are high in children. Boys with sleep problems are at greater risk of onset of musculoskeletal pain, but girls do not appear to have higher risk. Consideration of sleep health may help prevent persistent musculoskeletal pain in children. What is Known:• Sleep problems are associated with the onset of musculoskeletal pain in adults.• It is not clear if the association between sleep problems and the onset of musculoskeletal pain is present also in children and if sex plays a role in this association. What is New:• This is the first large population-based study that has prospectively investigated the relationship between sleep problems and onset of musculoskeletal pain in school-aged children.• Children, especially boys with sleep problems, were at increased risk for the development of persistent musculoskeletal pain.

“…There is some risk of injuries or overuse injuries among children and adolescents who participate in physical activities and sports, 123 as well as organised and unorganised leisure-time physical activity, 1 2 with the evidence suggesting high numbers of injuries when participating in sports-related activities, 124 unorganised activities 125 and high-risk sports (eg, ice hockey). 126 In general, as the level of physical activity increases, the likelihood of injury increases.…”

Physical activity and health in Chinese children and adolescents: expert consensus statement (2020)

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

China is experiencing significant public health challenges related to social and demographic transitions and lifestyle transformations following unprecedented economic reforms four decades ago. Of particular public health concern is the fourfold increase in overweight and obesity rates in the nation’s youth population, coupled with the low prevalence of adolescents meeting recommended levels of physical activity. Improving the overall health of China’s more than 170 million children and adolescents has become a national priority. However, advancing nationwide health initiatives and physical activity promotion in this population has been hampered by the lack of a population-specific and culturally relevant consensus on recommendations for achieving these ends. To address this deficiency and inform policies to achieve Healthy China 2030 goals, a panel of Chinese experts, complemented by international professionals, developed this consensus statement. The consensus was achieved through an iterative process that began with a literature search from electronic databases; in-depth reviews, conducted by a steering committee, of the resulting articles; and panel group evaluations and discussions in the form of email correspondence, conference calls and written communications. Ultimately, the panel agreed on 10 major themes with strong scientific evidence that, in children and adolescents aged 6–17, participating in moderate to vigorous physical activities led to multiple positive health outcomes. Our consensus statement also (1) highlights major challenges in promoting physical activity, (2) identifies future research that addresses current knowledge gaps, and (3) provides recommendations for teachers, education experts, parents and policymakers for promoting physical activity among Chinese school-aged children and adolescents. This consensus statement aligns with international efforts to develop global physical activity guidelines to promote physical activity and health and prevent lifestyle-related diseases in children and adolescents. More importantly, it provides a foundation for developing culturally appropriate and effective physical activity interventions, health promotion strategies and policy initiatives to improve the health of Chinese children and adolescents.
